* Edited by JCS solely to run without manually pasting in p-values
* This code generates BKY (2006) sharpened two-stage q-values as described in Anderson (2008), "Multiple Inference and Gender Differences in the Effects of Early Intervention: A Reevaluation of the Abecedarian, Perry Preschool, and Early Training Projects", Journal of the American Statistical Association, 103(484), 1481-1495
* BKY (2006) sharpened two-stage q-values are introduced in Benjamini, Krieger, and Yekutieli (2006), "Adaptive Linear Step-up Procedures that Control the False Discovery Rate", Biometrika, 93(3), 491-507

****  INSTRUCTIONS:
****    Please start with a clear data set
****	When prompted, paste the vector of p-values you are testing into the "pval" variable
****	Please use the "do" button rather than the "run" button to run this file (if you use "run", you will miss the instructions at the prompts)


quietly sum pval
local totalpvals = r(N)

* Sort the p-values in ascending order and generate a variable that codes each p-value's rank

quietly gen int original_sorting_order = _n
quietly sort pval
quietly gen int rank = _n if pval~=.

* Set the initial counter to 1 

local qval = 1

* Generate the variable that will contain the BKY (2006) sharpened q-values

gen bky06_qval = 1 if pval~=.

* Set up a loop that begins by checking which hypotheses are rejected at q = 1.000, then checks which hypotheses are rejected at q = 0.999, then checks which hypotheses are rejected at q = 0.998, etc.  The loop ends by checking which hypotheses are rejected at q = 0.001.


while `qval' > 0 {
	* First Stage
	* Generate the adjusted first stage q level we are testing: q' = q/1+q
	local qval_adj = `qval'/(1+`qval')
	* Generate value q'*r/M
	gen fdr_temp1 = `qval_adj'*rank/`totalpvals'
	* Generate binary variable checking condition p(r) <= q'*r/M
	gen reject_temp1 = (fdr_temp1>=pval) if pval~=.
	* Generate variable containing p-value ranks for all p-values that meet above condition
	gen reject_rank1 = reject_temp1*rank
	* Record the rank of the largest p-value that meets above condition
	egen total_rejected1 = max(reject_rank1)

	* Second Stage
	* Generate the second stage q level that accounts for hypotheses rejected in first stage: q_2st = q'*(M/m0)
	local qval_2st = `qval_adj'*(`totalpvals'/(`totalpvals'-total_rejected1[1]))
	* Generate value q_2st*r/M
	gen fdr_temp2 = `qval_2st'*rank/`totalpvals'
	* Generate binary variable checking condition p(r) <= q_2st*r/M
	gen reject_temp2 = (fdr_temp2>=pval) if pval~=.
	* Generate variable containing p-value ranks for all p-values that meet above condition
	gen reject_rank2 = reject_temp2*rank
	* Record the rank of the largest p-value that meets above condition
	egen total_rejected2 = max(reject_rank2)

	* A p-value has been rejected at level q if its rank is less than or equal to the rank of the max p-value that meets the above condition
	replace bky06_qval = `qval' if rank <= total_rejected2 & rank~=.
	* Reduce q by 0.001 and repeat loop
	drop fdr_temp* reject_temp* reject_rank* total_rejected*
	local qval = `qval' - .001
}
	

quietly sort original_sorting_order

display "Code has completed."
display "Benjamini Krieger Yekutieli (2006) sharpened q-vals are in variable 'bky06_qval'"
display	"Sorting order is the same as the original vector of p-values"


* Note: Sharpened FDR q-vals can be LESS than unadjusted p-vals when many hypotheses are rejected, because if you have many true rejections, then you can tolerate several false rejections too (this effectively just happens for p-vals that are so large that you are not going to reject them regardless).
